He enlisted under Captain Eutier of the Second Regiment of the Pennsylvania Line commanded by Colonel William Butler, the woods was where he was born and brought up in Lancaster County in Pennsylvania and enlisted at Lancaster then in which County of Lancaster. When he enlisted he was marched to Redding where Capt. Eutier died. From that place he was marched to Quarantine in the barracks at Philadelphia He was next marched to New York where in a short time from that place to Albany. From Albany he went to Lake George, down that Lake to Lake Champlain to Quebec about two days after Montgomery fell

Mrs. A. Martin Tollefson 1070- 27th Street Des Moines, Iowa
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War records of Andrew Ebright, or any Ebright from Pennsylvania; William Byram, George Frisbie, John Gibson, and James Steele.
Revolutionary War data furnished by this office are obtained from claims made to the United States for pension and bounty land based upon the military service of soldiers in that war.
A search of the records fails to show such claims on file on account of the services of a James Steele as described by you; or of any Andrew Ebright, William Byram and George Frisbie; similar spellings of the surnames searched.
In order to identify the record of the John Gibson in whom you are interested, as much as possible of the following data in regard to him are essential- approximate dates of birth and death and places of residence at enlistment and after service.
The record given below of Philip Ebright is that of the only soldier with that surname, found on file in the Revolutionary War records of this office.
The data herein were obtained from the papers on file in pension claim, S. 3319, based upon the Revolu-

tionary War service of Philip Bright (a German)
He was born in March, 1754 in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania; the names of his parents are not shown.
While residing in Lebanon, Pennsylvania, Philip Bright enlisted "after harvest in the year 1775" and served as a private under Captain Melin in Colonel William Butler's Pennsylvania regiment, marched to Quebec and was in the battle of Three Rivers, length of service one year. He served two months in 1777 in Captain Boland's company of Pennsylvania militia, and was in a skirmish at Red Bank, and also served under Lieutenant Frank in the same militia, and was in a skirmish at Chestnut Hill.
Philip Bright was allowed pension on his application executed November 8, 1832, then a resident of Violet Township, Fairfield County, Ohio.
The soldier, Philip Bright, referred to two sons, their names not stated, and there are no further data relative to family.

Dear Madam:
I advise you that, from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim S. 3319, it appears that Philip Ebright was born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, in March 1754.
While living at Lebanon, Pennsylvania, he enlisted after harvest time in 1775, and served until after harvest time in 1777, as a private under Captain Eblin, in Colonel William Butler's Pennsylvania Regiment. He was in the battle of Three Rivers.
In 1777 he served two months in Captain Noland's Company of Pennsylvania Militia, and was in a skirmish at Red Island. He also served under Lieutenant Frank in said Militia, dates not stated.
He was allowed pension on his application executed November 25, 1829, while living in Fairfield County, Ohio.
He referred to two sons, names not stated. There are no further data on file as to family.
The Revolutionary War records of this bureau fail to afford any information in regard to Michael and Solomon Thomas, and the above is the history of the only soldier surnamed Ebright, or other spelling, found on said records.
Very truly yours,

Dear Sirs,
I should like to ask for some information concerning the following men, whom I believe to have been Revolutionary soldiers:
1. Do you have a record of an only Philip  Andrew  Ebright or any Ebright from Penn. being a Revolutionary soldier and receiving a pension? 2. Have you a record of a William Byram of Virginia, who was married to Sarah Gibson, being a Revolutionary soldier? Or perhaps I am a generation ahead and it may have been this William Byram's father who was in the war. The Byrams later moved to Ohio, probably Morgan County. Stamped envelope sent

3. Do you have a record of a John more Gibson of Virginia , married to Ann Ball, being a Revolutionary soldier and receiving a pension?
4. Do you have a record of a George or any Frisbie Frisbie , who in his later years lived in Ohio, probably Washington County and possibly Roxbury Twp. being in the Revolutionary War and receiving a pension?
5. Do you have a record of a James or Jim Steele of Virginia, who later lived in Princeton, Kentucky and Peoria County Illinois, being a Revolutionary soldier and receiving a pension? I am told by authorities that this James Steele was born in Ireland.
I shall appreciate having any information you may find concerning the above men. Thank you very kindly. I have written to the wrong place for this information, would you please enlighten me as to where I may find it?
